Anime Universe Sandbox - Or, great blunders in stellar history.

For shame I spy no Codexian mention of this sunny little gem I found today. More God-sim than most godsims this "game" gives one complete control of one's own little macrocosm for the enjoyment of such unearthly delights and cosmology/astronomy education, settling "what-if" bets in ballistic physics, and making things go boom (see battle of endor scenario it ships with). I believe there is even a sequel already out. Anyone have fun with this, answer profound questions with it, or made a bitchin scenario?

About This Game
Create and destroy on a scale you've never imagined with the ultimate space simulator.

Harness the power to create black holes, collide galaxies, and manipulate gravity with just a few clicks. Inspired by the software astronomers use to unlock the mysteries of our universe, never before has astronomy been so interactive or so much fun.

Spawn a massive moon to tear apart Saturn’s rings or launch a rogue star to rip the planets from their orbits around our sun. After unleashing catastrophic destruction, create your own solar system and share it with friends.

Key Features

• Interactive, real-time, n-body gravity simulator
• Change any property of any object at any time
• Real physics, real data, real units, real science
• Compare the objects in any simulation with chart mode
• Supports anaglyphic 3D glasses and 3D DLP televisions
• Built in tutorials and step-by-step activities
• Includes 70+ simulations both real and fantastical
• Extensive editing and creation tools make it easy to build your own simulations

Probably because it has been bundled to death and given away for free a long time ago.

There's also the successor in early access.

probably would have been better placed in the science forum. I just got the alpha of the second one to play with and its already miles better than the first.
it would be neat if it made some sort of "campaign" mode, where it would task the user with creating certain types of systems, or work out solutions to celestial mechanics problems
